प्रश्न

Why do some of us find it necessary to prove that we are better than others ? Will you be amused or annoyed to read the following sign at the back of the car in front of you? I may be going slow but I am ahead of you.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

A lot of people have the tendency, like the warrior in the story, to prove themselves superior to others. But one may be superior in one aspect and the other may be superior in some other things. For instance, the warrior may have claimed to be more powerful, but Ranji was better than him in swimming and diving. I don’t like people like the owner of the car who had put the sign: ‘I may be going slow but I am ahead of you’. It does not reflect good taste. I don’t get amused at such things. I don’t like people who show off and try to prove themselves better.
